CYPRUS

Cyprus situated at the north-eastern end of the Mediterranean basin, is the third largest island in the region, with an area of 9,251 square kms. Cyprus is an island of legends that basks year-round in the light of the warm Mediterranean sun. A storied past 10,000 years long has seen civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here – but then, people do tend to get possessive when faced with such beauty. Aphrodite made her home on Cyprus, and travelers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her tribute.

In Cyprus a visitor will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination, citrus groves and old stone villages where sweet wine flows as freely as conversations at the local café. A carefree place where a sense of timelessness is magnified by the kindness of the people.

The capital of Cyprus is Nicosia. Other major cities are Paphos, Limassol and Larnaca.

PAPHOS

Paphos, or Pafos, is located on the southwest coast of Cyprus and is sheltered from the north by the Troodos mountains. With its pleasant harbour and medieval fort, Paphos combines a cosmopolitan holiday resort, spectacular countryside and historical sites. The region offers the possibility of enjoying both sea and mountains, as well as getting a taste of the island’s cultural with its many archaeological sites. More information on http://www.visitpafos.org.cy/default.aspx

 Travel and Finances

Travel expenses are a heavy burden on the budget of this project. Participants are therefore required to arrange their journeys in the most economical manner possible.

In order to find the most economic tickets we advise you to visit Rumbo. You have 530€ budget for return tickets.

1) FLIGHTS TO CYPRUS: There are two legitimate Airports in Cyprus, a) Paphos International Airport (the nearest airport to the venue 18,5 km away) and b) Larnaca International Airport (136 km away). The only legitimate airports in Cyprus are in Larnaca and Paphos – recognized/acknowledged by the EU and international organizations. Please emphasize this to your participants as they cannot land to the North part of the island, thus is the Turkish Cypriot part, as it is restricted. (In 1974 Turkey invaded Cyprus and divided the island into half, occupying the north part of Cyprus. Ever since they are trying to solve the Cyprus problem but hasn’t been achieved yet). So, please note that flights through Turkey, even though they are cheaper, land to the North and are not  covered by the Cyprus National Agency of Erasmus +, thus are not reimbursed. All participants must fly to Larnaca and Paphos Airports (destinations).
